Normally, the minimum standard security recommendations for corporate PDAs are:
- Lock the device with a pin
- Encrypt the data on device
This effectively means that if you loose your PDA it’s now a brick.
The other day I found a unlocked PDA (see images). By accessing this individual’s email I was able to send him a note telling him the device was found. Without the access I could not have returned the phone to its rightful owner. So, choose which is more valuable: the cost of the phone or your data.
I also found an interesting note regarding working with Bill Gates:
I think that I should follow up with a formal draft of accomplishments to Bill Gates. What do you think?
It wasn’t the world’s most wealthy man, though (I checked). Imagine it was.
